  • Hello ladies. Things are going well with me. Keeping up with my workouts, just hoping that stress eating doesn't get the best of me this week.

    I have been at my job for the last 6 years and my contract is coming to an end at the end of the year. I applied for a job that was made for me (and it pays almost $10,000 MORE per year) and I just got a call for an interview next Wednesday ! So needless to say I am nervous, but I need to focus my energy on preparing for the 4 person panel interview and not stuffing my face

    Riddy - way to go!!!

    oooo that is awesome news!!!! sending prayers that you find favor and get the position!!!!
  • I hope everyone is having a good week

    I feel on track but unfortunately my heel pain is back It completely disappeared when I wasn't working out so it's frustrating. I am going to buy some new runners to see if that helps.

    rwquilts - I saw your picture and you look great! Very motivating for me as I am your height and my goal is similar.

    Riddy - on your run time and finding the boots!

    Rosa - Good luck at the interview. I hope you get the position!
  • Narnia - hope your heels feel better soon. It's so frustrating to be willing to work out, but be in pain. It made me a little crazy to not do yoga when I cut my finger, and that didn't affect the rest of my life much. Heel pain is so much more pervasive - I feel for you.

    Rosa - good luck on the interview! I'm sure you'll do great!

    Packing is all done except for what I can't do till tomorrow. It all (just) fit, as long as I wear my new tall boots on the plane.
  • Hi everyone -- RED TEAM ROCKS -- Everyone is doing well -- and WOW RainbowSmiles -- that's a VERY good loss last week.

    I've been so MIA, am working fulltime nights and playing piano for church and practicing a lot. My sleeping problem has been bad lately and I'm sleeping way too much -- maybe it's the change in weather.

    I just lost a post I had typed here --- grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr --- i hate it when that happens!

    Goooooooooo Red Team!

    Narnia- sorry about the heel pain. Hope it's an easy fix like new shoes.

  • Thanks Narnia and Mel. Guess what? I weighed in tonight and I'm at my goal weight!!! 140 never felt so good!

    They asked me to write a thanksgiving thought for the board and I wrote, "Nothing tastes as good as feeling thin feels!"
